MINNEAPOLIS — Word is starting to leak out around Minneapolis and St. Paul, the site of tonight’s first round of the NHL draft, that Winnipeg’s new franchise is indeed going to be called the Jets.
Even though the Winnipeg Jets fled to Phoenix, Ariz., in 1996, the relocated franchise that used to be the Atlanta Thrashers has not yet adopted a name.
That is expected to be revealed as early as later today and multiple NHL sources have been tweeting and suggesting today that True North has settled, possibly reluctantly, on Jets.
No logo, sweaters or colours are expected to accompany the announcement when it comes, but the Free Press has been told when it does, it will likely bear no resemeblance whatsoever to the style used by the former NHL team in Winnipeg.

Anything less would be uncivilized.
